AI and human beings
人工智能与人类
Is it possible to make machines think like humans?
有没有可能让机器像人类一样思考？
This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or "AI".
这是人工智能，即“AI”领域研究中的一个问题。
To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams.
要像人类一样思考，就涉及到感情、道德、希望和梦想。
Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience.
人类能够在不需要他人输入的情况下自己做出决定，并且可以从经验中学习到知识。
In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure.
此外，人类还能根据自己的灵感创造出自己喜欢的东西。
The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects.
问题是，机器是否真的能在所有这些方面进行思考。
The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people.
一台全能的电脑，可以自己思考和做决定，这个想法让很多人感到恐惧。
In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed.
在一些电影中，AI甚至决定必须杀死所有的人类。
Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. Yet others are comforted by the thought of AI.
很多人还担心人工智能会被用来取代人类。然而也有人认为想到了AI而感到欣慰。
Maybe with AI, robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died.
也许有了AI，就可以让机器人来代替死去的亲人。
Today, the creation of an allpowerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress.
如今，能够实现人类思维的全能计算机的创造还在进行中。
We have companion robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by.
我们已经有了陪伴机器人，而且随着时间的推移，它们在我们生活中的重要性可能会越来越大。
However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience.
然而，对这种机器人的需求似乎没有我们对智能机器的需求那么重要，我们需要的是能够通过观察和经验的学习来解决问题的智能机器。
For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones.
例如，AI已经在互联网搜索引擎和我们智能手机的个人助理中得到了非常成功的应用。
It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like.
它可以从我们的习惯中学习，帮助我们找到我们想要和喜欢的东两。
AI is also used to diagnose problems and suggest solutions.
AI还被用来诊断问题并提出解决方案。
Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination.
研究人员还在尝试将AI用于无人驾驶汽车，它可以感知周围环境并决定到达目的地的最佳方式。
It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses.
它还被用于教育，特别是在线课程。
Furthermore, industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers.
此外，那些使用机器人进行重复性或危险性工作的行业往往会求助于AI来管理这些电子工人。
In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today.
此外，如今一些家庭也在使用虚拟助理。
In the near future, it is likely that AI will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks such as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming.
在不久的将来，AI很有可能被用来管理智能家居，并处理更多种类的任务，比如摆放喜欢的衣服，帮助我们进行个人修饰。
The AI of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas.
如今的AI已经在很多方面证明了它对人类的优越性。
Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human?
你认为我们可以创造出一个像人类一样思考的机器人，或者是一个更加智能的机器人吗？如果可以，人工智能和人类真的有区別吗？
